More from John Morley
An Indian gentleman has been placed on the Council of the Viceroy--not an everyday transaction.
He was a soldier of infinite personal courage and daring; of striking military energy, initiative, and resource; a high, pure, and single character, dwelling much in the region of the unseen.
